Meet The Manager
Vicky Hornibrook is General Manager at Milton Ernest Hall Care Home.
I started at Milton Ernest Hall in October 2012, and I haven’t looked back since! I started my journey as a Healthcare Assistant and have been given opportunities to work my way up in various job roles. Since being appointed Deputy Manager in September 2022, I have now gone on to become the General Manager of Milton Ernest Hall in January 2024, I am committed to ensuring Milton is a loving and supportive environment for both residents and the team. I strive to create a home where everyone feels valued, is cared for and are happy.
Milton Ernest is a home-from-home, and you will always be welcomed with open arms and a delightful smile. Please do feel free to phone Milton Ernest Hall to chat to myself or member of the team to support you on your journey for finding you or your loved ones home-from-home.

We provide our residents with an engaging setting to socialise, dine, enjoy favourite activities and explore the sixteen aces of beautifully landscaped gardens.
Milton Ernest Hall is a vibrant and active community where residents are enabled to live life to the fullest. A community where older people are supported to carry on enjoying all the little things that make them happy.

"Milton Ernest Hall was built in 1856 and is the only country house designed and built by the noted architect Sir William Butterfield. An impressive Grade I Listed former Home to the Starey family, it is now beautifully refurbished to retain its character. As well as many years as a private residence, the house has been a base for US Armed forces during World War II and a country house hotel."

Our homes offer a wide range of imaginative and inclusive activities. So, whether that’s pottering in the garden, being creative in our arts and crafts sessions, cooking and baking, enjoying a sherry after a walk in the grounds or watching a movie in the cinema with new friends, there’s something for everyone.
